Potential fit: Washington Capitals

At the trade deadline, some teams are looking for makeovers while some are just looking for a touch-up. Bill Guerin can help a team who is in the latter category, and he’s a good fit for the Washington Capitals.

There’s no long-term commitment involved, since Guerin's contract expires at the end of the season. His contract isn’t cumbersome ($4.5 million this year), plus he has playoff experience, leadership and grit. Guerin would be a nice boost to the second unit for any postseason-bound team.

As far as cost, he’s also fairly affordable. As for the Islanders perspective; does anyone really care?
